Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its next highest category score in the area of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 95.27559 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility averaged only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is short-term care. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in that area. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. With a score of this caliber in this category, we weren't stunned to learn this nursing home was well below average in multiple staffing figures we assess. In fact, it supplied far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
